Modular Ethernet Switch User's Guide Installing Modules The DES-6000 supports up to 9 modules which can be installed into the module bays. Networking modules are warm-swappable, meaning they can be added and removed while power to the switch is ON. After warmswapping a networking module, the switch will automatically be rebooted. Make sure to use the Save Changes command to save the current configuration to NV-RAM before warm-swapping modules. The CPU module, however, is NOT hot-swappable. Removing or inserting the CPU module while the power is on may cause irreparable damage to the module and/or to the Switch itself. Further, make sure you have unplugged the power cord from the removable power supply module before inserting or removing it from the Switch. CAUTION: Due to the high energy present in this system, extreme caution should be exercised whenever adding or removing system components. No element of this system may be installed or removed except by an authorized technician. Figure 2-3. Removing a Blank Slot Cover Modules can be installed into any free slot, except the CPU module which must be installed in the uppermost (top) slot. To install a module, simply remove a blank slot cover and slide the module along the guide rails until it snaps firmly in place. 8 Unpacking and Setup

Installing Modules
The DES-6000 supports up to 9 modules which can be installed into the module bays. Networking modules
are warm-swappable, meaning they can be added and removed while power to the switch is ON. After warm-
swapping a networking module, the switch will automatically be rebooted. Make sure to use the Save
Changes command to save the current configuration to NV-RAM before warm-swapping modules. The CPU
module, however, is NOT hot-swappable. Removing or inserting the CPU module while the power is on may
cause irreparable damage to the module and/or to the Switch itself. Further, make sure you have unplugged
the power cord from the removable power supply module before inserting or removing it from the Switch.
CAUTION: Due to the high energy present in this system, extreme caution should be
exercised whenever adding or removing system components. No element of this system
may be installed or removed except by an authorized technician.
